Sony Flaunts PS4 Exclusive Destiny Mission

Sony has released a new trailer showcasing Destiny strike mission that will be exclusive on PlayStation 4 for a full year.

The mission, called Dust Palace, is set on Mars and can only be played by those who have reached level 18 in the game. The co-op mission tasks a trio of players to battle against a race called the Cabal, who are mining an ancient city in the search of a valuable technology.

Some of the Cabal's more dangerous soldiers include Centurions--burly field commanders who use jump jets--as well as the Psion Flayer, which is a more nimble enemy with advanced AI.

The mission also includes PS4-exclusive loot and gear to discover and collect. Sony has said the exclusivity period ends "Fall 2015".

It so funny to me when I see people on here saying things like "damn Sony and M$ focusing on 1080p and exclusive content instead of working on games and services" and/or other such complaints/comments...

All of you making these comments do realize the gaming market has always demanded (much more so recently) to be absolutely pandered too, and therefore the gaming industry giants (MS and Sony) have become panderers to its customer base.

If the gaming giants are doing something you don't approve of, you should of thought before you went to forums and boasted about the ps4 having 1080p while xbox1 doesn't. You should of thought before you repeated IGNs rhetoric of "Sony is the choice for true gamers" or "Sony cares about us" to your family and friends and on these forums, boasting how great Sony is for "listening to gamers", which was code for "listening to IGN". Basically, if you are not happy with the current state and focus of the gaming industry, you have no one to blame but yourself.

Why is all this hype going over my head? Yet another Destiny gameplay trailer that leaves me feeling disappointed. Where is the mine? No elaborate caves systems and grinding machines. It's just another high tech generic building with flat grey textures that we've seen in the other gameplay locations. The graphics are bland with zero atmosphere. The gunplay is the same old dance around the objects peeping out to take a shot that we see in COD, Halo and Crysis.

They promised a huge open world to explore in coop, finding really cool stuff, but all we get is a COD in nano suit dinosaur. I expected more from the next gen and feel disappointed with Destiny. For me the future of open world gaming is Far Cry 4. It walks all over this in term of graphical detail and variety. The weapons look all the same in Destiny. Futuristic laser pulse rifles in a million different shapes and colours, with just a slight variation in damage effect. All the enemy are in robotic generic nano suits making them all look the same, without any of the character that you get from seeing human faces or biological alien life forms.

Sorry for being so negative guys but I really wanted this to be good seeing as it was coming from the same studio that gave me Halo 1 on the mac all those years ago, with it's excellent single player story, great gameplay and unique green world that rapped around the inside of a huge curved halo shaped space ship. The hovering robot that helped you had a unique surreal female voice and humorously treated you as an interesting curiosity. The flying robot in Destiny is a bland guy with no personally or humour. That just about sums it up. Boring.

Blah blah blah. I haven't the slightest idea why people are excited for this mediocre pile of sh it. The beta sucked. It's just another run of the mill shooter. Ooooh wow exclusive map that I can play Sci fi call of duty on? No thanks. Shooters have become so boring. The story sucks. It's just a money grab at sony gamers by bungie. People are gonna play destiny multiplayer for a few months before no one cares at all. By the time the map isn't exclusive nobody on xbox will even care.

This still wont stop me from getting this game on Xbox one. Xbox has always and will Continue to have the better online service so anyone with half a brain should know that when it comes to Online it will be better played on Xbox one. But when it comes to which console will have the BIGGER community than it will be PS4 since they have more PS4 units out there than Xbox one at the moment.

@jako998 agreed. but honestly sony needed exclusive content because this is one of the first big games that has full parity (1080, 30fps) So no performance advantage this time, and xbox has had a reputation as the better network. They needed to level the playing field

@jako998 Played 360 and played PS4. Now I knew One HAD issues with online play but can't imagine it could get much better than 360. That said PS+ isn't that bad it is behind the Live services of the 360 but not by much and in some games at all.

@jako998 online gaming consists of: tactics, abuse from 12yos, playing games, chatting with friends etc you can do that with both and the 'experience' is exactly the same, the only difference is the control in your hands.

@kyelo@jako998 Well the xbox community did just benefit from some fat trimming of spoiled 12 y/o's. didnt you see how many xbox 360 users went ps4 this time? and frankly, The community has been better for it.

@jako998 I will admit when I had my 360 the online was better on it and I loved the features it had then that of the PS3. Although the PS3 has free online play, so I was ok with losing those features when I jumped to the PS3. It's more of opinion I think as would you pay (last I checked) $60 to play online and get some extra features, or pay nothing and lose a few of those features.

@kyelo @jako998 This generation has mostly focused on 1080p/60fps so far and that is the way the Sony would like it to stay but it is only a matter of time before people start focusing on latency for online gaming again. When they do, people might start realizing all of the little things that MS has done to improve latency whether it is the network or the delay between the controller and the system or dedicated servers or all of the other small things that do add up in the end.

@TravisTehDog@jako998 Your right, you get what you pay for. At least now both companies are giving away free games as a bonus so if you take advantage its worth it. Sony has finally realized they need to charge for online so they can invest in their networks to keep pace with MS. But they are still playing catchup.

@uncompetative@sandman338 This is my fear. I bought Destiny for PS4. Mainly because the controller feels better for FPS games (for me). With the latest attack on PSN I'm a bit concerned that my first experience of Destiny will be... non-existent.

@trotz75 Xbox has a lot more party & matchmaking features. It's easier to find and stay with friends while switching through multiple games, how you can interact with people, and the matchmaking system is top notch. It's much better at matching you up against people of equal skill.

I don't know what ur on about, every time I've played a multi player game online with either the ps3 or ps4 it's been fine, the games played fine, they were fun aswell, so how can the xbox online b any better were games r concerned?

Is anyone else sensing a repeat of the release of Watch Dogs? People were already claiming Watch Dogs as game of the year, best game ever, and were clearly expecting it to live up to all of the marketing hype a week or two before it came out. Then about 2 days after release, the buzz completely went and the general voice of the community went from saying "this game's going to be amazing!" to a tone of disappointment.

@Kinguard73 Nah I don't. It's pretty fair to say we had an idea of what Watch Dogs is like before release as well, but it's difficult to get an idea of the scale and scope of a game from only seeing or experiencing a small snippet of it (and one that was inevitably designed to give us all a good first impression.)

In my experience at least it's more common for these super hyped games to let people down after release, so I don't think it's unreasonable to expect it this time around.

Don't fret Xbox gamers if this is the kind of game you like why play the limited PS4 version, just hold off until the far superior PC version comes out it'll probably have the missions packed in for free

@lonesamurai1 @3dmatrixgamer Oh really Steam were DDOSed few month ago so no one is safe on internet but retarded kids like you never understood that gutter line valve could not urge me to own PC but MS and Sony did that to Steamers and you own consoles that is my VICTORY.

@gokartmozart89@unreal849@lonesamurai1 Doesn't make that much difference to me because I wouldn't touch a game like this anyway being an online multiplayer game only, but if I wanted it and I was an Xbox gamer I would wait for the PC version.
